A few simple steps from enquiry to your first day.
“Units contained plenty of information of the subject matter and allowed me to learn in a way suitable to me. They allowed the perfect balance between theory and practice (learning and assessment). Quizzes suitably tested the level of knowledge gained, while assessment enabled a practical approach. Assessors were professional, knowledgeable and helpful and marked assessments in a timely manner. The two year timeframe to complete the diploma was achievable, even with full-time work.”
“Best learning experience ever! I am scratching to do my next course with CAL! The staff from the support team all the way through to my coach were very supportive and full of helpful information. I was able to complete my certificate IV in just under 6 months due to the easy access of support and availability. I am confident and excited to do my diploma or another certificate IV knowing I have good support. I couldn't recommend CAL enough.”
“I would like to thank CAL College for the wonderful online learning experience while completing my Diploma of Project Management. From the beginning until the end of my course, I felt supported and encouraged throughout my studies. The teachers and staff were always helpful, professional and responsive whenever I needed assistance. Even though the course was online, the learning environment felt welcoming and well organised. I truly appreciated the support, communication and flexibility provided during my adult learning journey.”
“Studying with CAL was a great experience. I did struggle with motivation and getting back into study but they (the coaches) were there all along. They have so many support options and are really flexible and want you to succeed. Some of the content links - in the learning modules I studied - reference reading material going back many years but still relevant and useful.”
“I am currently in the early stages of completing my Double Diploma in Business Operations and Administration Management through the College for Adult Learning, and my experience so far has been extremely positive. The course material is well-structured, engaging, and highly relevant to the workplace. What has stood out most to me is the level of support available from the instructors and support staff. Living with Parkinson's Disease presents its own daily challenges, and the team at CAL has been genuinely understanding, compassionate, and accommodating of my study needs and requirements.”
“Covered everything that has helped me with all the content, a lot of information to read and reference back to. Some modules I found easy based on my role and others I really had to put the extra effort into it, but the content covered that information. I was most impressed by the simulations as it gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my knowledge, and I became better with each simulation. Well planned out course would recommend to my fellow team members.”
This course covers the skills and knowledge needed to move from the tools into a site management role. Students learn how to plan and supervise construction work, manage subcontractors, interpret technical drawings, and meet work health and safety obligations on site.
